After all the initial preparation steps and primer, I was so surprised and happy, the uneven red tones had really evened out, the result after dying, is a warm brown and it’s absolutely perfect. I am sooooo happy with the finished result. It looks well loved, a tad rustic and doesn’t have that all over even colour, which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. " Jo - Darfield

The leather seats had been showing wear-and-tear with paint worn away in some areas, along with some cracking and creasing. I wasn’t getting anywhere with a number of off-the-shelf products I tried. As this is quite a unique colour and this car is special to me I felt that I needed a proper colour match and an easy-to-use restoration kit which you were able to provide for me. This was really straight forward to apply, and I’m super pleased with the results. The colour is perfect, seats are nice and supple and it’s made a huge difference to the overall appearance of the interior. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking to restore leather car seats!" Greg - Whangaparaoa

We were told by the salesman not to use any care products on it. But we wanted to condition it and find something to help blend these scratches. The care products you sent have definitely improved the look of the leather, covered some of the scratches, and made it look richer in colour, which is great!" Emma - Hamilton

"I bought this second-hand leather suite on-line but when it arrived, it looked worse than I thought. It was going to cost more than $2,000 to get a local restorer to colour it! But then I found Paul Ford and with his help and products, the results were amazing. Here's what I did ..." Marlene - Matamata

My story proves anyone can do this..."Kerry Golan - Hastings

3 - Leather Care Products Used On Cream Leather Loung Suite

cream loung suite

"Hi Paul. Just wanted to let you know that your leather care products are awesome! I have a cream leather lounge suite that was really dirty. Your cleaner and brush literally disolved the dirt and I can't believe how clean it looks. After conditioning and protecting, the leather now feels beautiful! My misses is really fussy and hard to please but right now she's sitting in one of the chairs rubbing her hands over the arms with a big grin on her face! So, well done mate. Your stuff is exceptional!" Keith - Auckland

"Hi Paul. Thanks for your cleaner and protector. The cleaner seems to remove the dirt quite well. Here's a picture of my leather tub chair half cleaned. The leather also feels softer. Certainly made a big difference. These chairs have been stored in a garage for quite a while so it's nice to get them looking fresh again." Lisa - Auckland

1 - Black Leather Car Seats Cleaned And Conditioned

"I have a car with black leather upholstery. To clean the outside I use a Mothers product which does a brillant job. So I assumed their leather cleaner would be good too but I was very dissapointed. It made the leather feel very slippery which I noticed especially when driving. I found your website and felt very comfortable with your approach and advice and went ahead and bought your "triple pack plus brush". So far I've only done the 2 front seats and the leather feels noticeably softer and natural instead of slippery. One thing I have noticed over the past week is the drivers seat is now feeling softer than the passenger seat so I think that the conditioner seems to go deeper when leather is used more. Your products work brilliantly and I'll be using them on my lounge suite as well. Thanks." Karyn - Christchurch
